Set in a prime West Side neighborhood with convenient access to I-93, this sun drenched Cape has been meticulously maintained and is truly move in ready. The home sits on a level, fenced half acre lot offering exceptional outdoor space, complete with a patio and garden bed along the side of the house. Inside, a welcoming mudroom connects the front and backyard and leads directly into the updated kitchen with plenty of storage and counter space. The main level features a spacious living room with a fireplace, dining room, one bedroom, and a full bath. Upstairs are two large front to back bedrooms with generous closet space and a second full bath. Pristine inside and out, this three bedroom, two bath home offers a fantastic opportunity in one of the West Side's most desirable neighborhoods.
The West End, located between the Merrimack River and downtown Lawrence, is a residential and industrial Methuen neighborhood with mill-era streetscapes and river-adjacent views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 28 corridor near the I-495 ramps, where auto shops, small storefronts, and working warehouses set a brisk, utilitarian rhythm. Brick multifamily blocks and compact side streets mix with light-industrial buildings and rail-adjacent lots. Riverfront edges and nearby parks shape a walk-and-pause routine along the water. Local staples such as Heav’nly Donuts, The Loop Shopping Center, and Methuen Memorial Music Hall anchor everyday errands and community culture.
